Someone still has to explain to me how we let it come to the point that Canada can purchase medicines from U.S. companies cheaper than the U.S. government can, because the U.S. government has been deliberately denied the ability to consolidate and negotiate better prices.

So that we must spend more of our tax dollars than is necessary.

Oh wait, I do know. It's called bribery.
